Reasons for Some time ago, our family read Menuhin's book, Unfinished Journey. We were so
impressed that we thought about many of the things he described and were naturally
choosing YMS interested in his school in England and Switzerland for a long time to come. As we
moved to England, this dream and desire to go to this school became more and more
real.
Sasha heard a lot about Yehudi Menuhin's school from her main teacher for the last
period - Alexei Grynyuk. She was becoming more and more interested in starting to
study at this school.
Also, the general school makes it difficult to combine music education and the child's
development, remaining a priority in terms of time and content. A specialised music
school is the ideal place for growing up and educating a musician. Menuhin's school
will give Sasha the opportunity to be in a musical environment with other very talented
children, which will stimulate her to improve her skills. Therefore, Sasha is looking
forward to playing an audition for Yehudi Menuhin's school and is doing her best to
perform well.
